Tipping in the Czech Republic
CZKLast reviewed · Sep 2026
About 10% is common at sit-down restaurants for good service. Say the total you want to pay when the bill arrives. Do not leave cash on the table after paying by card. Some tourist spots add an obsluha service charge. Check before adding more. Taxis and pubs tip lighter with a simple round-up.
